Length
is the measure of distance
Mass
is a quantity used to measure the resistance to a change in
the motion of an object
Time
time in physics is defined by its measurement
Systems of Measurement
Dimensions
denotes the physical nature of a quantity.

FORCE
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW
Inertia
tendency of an object to continue in its original state
of motion.
Mass
a measure of the object’s resistance to changes in its
motion due to a force.
NEWTON’S SECOND LAW
Objects in Equilibrium
Type of Forces
Weight
essentially the force with which gravity pulls downward upon it.
Tensile Force
Acting on a string, cable or chain is the applied force tending to stretch
it.
Friction Force
Tangential force acting on an object that opposes the sliding of that
object across adjacent surface with which it is in contact.
Normal Force
Supporting force that is perpendicular to the surface
Example 1
The tension of the horizontal cord is 30 𝑁. Find the weight of the object
Example 2
A rope extends between two poles. A 90 𝑁 boy hangs from it. Find the tensions in
the two parts of the rope.
